"So what your saying, is that he's part of Armachem?" Robin asked, a skeptic look on his face. "I don't know man. Why don't you go and ask him." Cyborg said glancing back at Marcus. He winced as he watched the teen suture himself up. "Something's up with him. I don't like it." Raven felt the slightest twinge of jelesouy at Cyborg's opinion of Marcus. "I doubt that he's some sort of assassin." she said quickly. She glanced back at Marcus. Despite being heavily scarred, he was still kinda cute, not to mention pretty built. "NO RAVEN!" he mind yelled at her. Why on earth was she thinking such thoughts. Her powers would go crazy if she let emotions or feelings get the best of her. Marcus finished suturing himself up, the small holes on his side would simply be another addition to the long sad history of his body. He began putting his chest armor back on. As he flicked the last lactch, the armor sealed against his body with a low hissing noise.
Marcus got up and walked out of the infirmery to the rest of the Titans. "Hey, you guys got any food here?" he asked as his stomach growled loudly. "I'm hungry as balls right now." Beast Boy chuckled and grabbed Marcus by the arm. "Dude you have got to try my tofu dogs. They're the best man." he cried as he dragged Marcus into the kitchen, with the rest of the Titan's following. Marcus looked at the tofu dog that Beast Boy had set in front of him. Without hesitation he grabbed it and began shoveling it into his mouth like a last meal. "Mh keep em commin" he mumbled. Suddenly the alarm went off, and Cyborg ran to the computer to see what was up. "Armored truck heist." he called out as the Titan's began to move. Raven and Robin stopped and turned to face Marcus. "You want to help out?" Robin asked as Raven looked on curiously. She wanted to see what this guy could do. Marcus grinned and stood up. "Sure why not? I got nothing better to do." he said as he picked up his H&K G36 rifle from a table and followed the Titans to the crime scene
"HAHAHAHA! Once again you have been bested by the luminance of Dr. Light!" Dr. Light cried as he held up bags of money that he had stolen from the overturned armored truck in front of him. He turned to make his getaway, but a bolt of green energy stopped him in his tracks. He looked up to see the Teen Titans in front of him. "Dr. Light." Robin said; a smirk on his masked face. "You never learn do you?" Dr. Light frowned. "Apparently you once again, have underestimated how "bright" I truly am!" he yelled as a large cannon popped up from a big pack on his back and let loose a massive stream of energy. The Titan's scattered, save one. Marcus stood there as the beam of death came towards him. He scowled and kicked his feet from under himself and hit the ground as Dr. Light's beam missed his head by inches. The teen growled in anger as he began rolling to his right to avoid energy blasts from a wrist blaster Light had on him. With almost superhuman speed he avoided the blasts with inches to spare. THe other Titan's watched in amazement but that amazement soon turned to horror as Marcus jumped onto a car hood, readying himself for another jump. The car hood crumpled under Marcus' weight and he stumbled. Dr. Light's aim was true and the beam slammed into Marcus. He barely had enough time to put his arms in front of his face before getting rammed into a wall as Dr. Light cackled with glee. "Seems the new one has two left feet." he called out mockingly.Raven felt a surge of hatred for the man and flew up in front of him. "AZARATH METRION ZINTHOS!" she yelled as she levitated a big rig trailer and swung it at Dr. Light like a baseball bat. It was no use though as his Light Cannon turned it into nothing. "You don't scare me anymore freak." he snarled as he produced his light whip and wrapped it around Raven.She was about to shout her incantation again, but electricity began flowing through the whip and she instead let out a scream of pain. "NOW YOU'LL PAY FOR WHAT YOU DID TO ME!" the crazy doctor yelled with a gleeful look on his face.
Suddenly a trio of bangs was heard and Dr. Light fell to the ground clutching his knees and screaming in agony. The Titans, stared at the writhing man for a second before turning to see Marcus standing there holding his rifle in one hand. His armor showed damage on the forearms where he had put them up to prevent his head from getting vaporized. They were smoking and looked scorched. Marcus' face was deadpan but his eyes and the blood trickling from his head in multiple places showed that he was in pain. He stumbled over to where Raven was being attended to by Cyborg. He passed Dr. Light and gave him a look of disgust. "Asshole." he muttered "You'll be fine." Cyborg said to Raven. "Just some superficial burns from where the whip was." Cyborg got up and looked Marcus over. The bloody teen was looking at Raven sadly almost as if he somehow felt responsible for her injuries. "Marcus, let me look at that-" Cyborg began as he tried to see how bad a gash Marcus had on his head. "I"m fine Cyborg. Its already healed over. The blood on my face here is dried as you can see." Marcus growled as he walked over to Raven and helped her to her feet. "You ok?" he asked looking concerned. She nodded and began walking towards the others who eyed Marcus with suspicion. "What's with you guys?" she asked. "Something is really up with him now." Cyborg whispered. "That gash on his head should have taken weeks to heal, even with stiches, but i saw it and wasn't even there. No normal person can heal like that in just a few minutes!" Robin looked at the ground in thought. "I have to agree with Cyborg, we'll have to ask him about that at sometime." Starfire and Beast Boy said nothing, but their faces showed an uneasy agreement. "...Fine." Raven said quietly. She herself found Marcus' ability to heal that quickly very strange as well, but she wouldn't ask him about it yet. He had seemed unnerved when Cyborg wanted to check his wounds and she was curious about it.
As Marcus and the Titans, left the scene, a long figure in an alleyway opened his cellphone and hit a number on speed-dial. He looked back out to the street and saw the police and paramedics tending to Dr. Light. Someone picked up the phone on the other end. "Yes?" a female voice answered. "I've found the first prototype, he's with the Teen Titans in Jump City." In a large building on the outskirts of Jump City, Alexis Justine, head of the Armachem Weapons Corporation smiled as she held a phone to her ear. "Excellent. We'll attempt to retrive the prototype soon enough but for now, pull back." she said. The caller didn't respond and just hung up. Alexis sat back in her chair. "We always take care of our property." she said quietly before getting back to the paperwork in front of her.
